2014-15 AFC Div. Round: Ravens vs. Patriots

[GatorAZ]

Ravens safeties are really bad. I liked Matt Elam coming out but he is struggling so bad they pulled him.

 

[Cheesebeef]

That was an incredible throw

 

[WildBB]

Wow...what a game! Winner will go to SB, imo.

And that's what happens when you play soft coverage like that. SOFT.

They literally give NE everything and anything underneath. I'm pretty sure I could throw for 200 yards against this type of defense.

Probably....Neither of these teams are playing much defense.

 

[Ronin]

4 down territory.

 

[sunsfan88]

Holy s**t what a throw, I thought that was getting picked off!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Just a great football game

 

[Ronin]

Haha I just checked twitter and Skip Bayless is typing everything in Caps. LOUD NOISES!
Huge throw and catch!

 

[BullheadCardFan]

And they get it. Have to get TD on this drive

Come on Ravens

 

[sunsfan88]

Ravens need to run it with Forsett. Plenty of time left plus NE can't stop him!

 

[Ronin]

Dumb!

 

[WildBB]

Dumb arse Lindley type throw!

He had all kinds of room to run to the left and the time on the clock!

 

[Catfish]

Wow !!!!! What a game. Both O-lines blocking nearly perfectly. Flacco and Brady both firing lasers. New England's O-line blanking out Suggs and Co. on the Ravens 'D'. Forsett running for chunks. Back and forth, back and forth. This is real playoff magic.

Amazing, Belichick and Brady always find ways to win.

 

[GatorAZ]

Consistency defines great corners. Revis gave up a TD on the first drive but he's been nails since.

 

[Cheesebeef]

will this be Brady's 9th AFC title game? If so... that's ridiculous. He wins and he goes to what... SIX Super Bowls? That's ludicrous success. Still think he needs to win this year if he's going to be considered the legit number one QB ever.

Not really. He got called for a big 30 plus yard PI call and then had another defensive holding later in the game that negated NE's defense getting a fumble. He didn't have a good game at all, IMO.

He played really well outside the first qtr. I don't mind that PI call. He saw the ball the whole time and got called for a cheapo. Steve Smith zero catches after the TD.

Darrelle Revis acting like a dochebag while Smith shows respect

Steve Smith got the better of Darrelle Revis early in Saturday's instant classic in Foxborough. But Revis would like to point out that it didn't last.

"He caught a touchdown earlier in the game, and after that, he got erased," Revis said after the game via WEEI.com.

This isn't exactly the game for Revis to be honking. Smith caught three balls for 44 yards and a touchdown on Revis, but that only tells a part of the story. Revis had a costly, long pass interference penalty that set up a Ravens touchdown late in the first half. Revis also had a brutal defensive holding call in the third quarter that erased a Patriots turnover, and goal-line opportunity.

Revis took particular issue with the pass interference call.

"I don't agree with that call," Revis said. "I definitely don't, because I played the ball right. Refs make the call, and that's it. But I definitely don't agree with the call."

Smith was complimentary of Revis after the game. Fighting back tears, Smith said they were "two vets" battling and that the scoreboard tells the story of the game.

While Smith and the Ravens go home for the offseason, Revis will prepare for the biggest game of his career. He'll get a chance to erase Demaryius Thomas or T.Y. Hilton in the AFC Championship.

Well, the guy has taken his team to 5 Super Bowls, won 3, and it took circus catches to beat him in the other 2. While he doesn't have 4 rings like Montana or Bradshaw, I think his overall body of work is up there with Montana. On the other hand, I don't believe Montana took his team to 9 conference championships.

I watched a good portion of the his game.

Brady's touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell in the 2nd half was ridiculous. Just stupid. When using the term, "The QB could not have walked out there and placed it in the receivers hands any better" they should show a clip of that throw.

If that is how Brady is starting to heat up, they are going to win the Super Bowl, yeah, its one throw, but I just was in awe of how perfect it was.

Good game, last night.
